“People who think this way are not bad people. They believe they’re being practical and choosing safety and security over impractical dreams and ambitions. But there’s no such thing as total security. It’s a false promise. “The truth is, when you choose safety and security, you’re usually choosing complacency. And when you fall into complacency, you lower your expectations and you give up your biggest dreams. When you settle for mediocrity, you end up with even less. When your goal is to simply survive, you’ll never thrive.”
